INTRO TO ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
- Endocrine glands and hormones they release influence every cell in the body
- Regulates mood, growth, tissue function, metabolism, reproductive system
- Made up of DUCTLESS GLANDS and release HORMONES
- HORMONES - chemicals that act as messengers
- Produced in endocrine glands
- Sent through the bloodstream to an organ or gland
- PITUITARY GLAND
- Situated in STELLA TURCIA of SPHENOID
- MASTER GLAND
- ANT,MIDDLE,POST LOBES
- Regulates act of endo glands and work with hypothalamus
- ANTERIOR LOBE regulates-thyroid, adrenals, reproductive
- Produces GH - stimulates growth of bone and tissues
- Produces PROLACTIN - Milk production
- Produces THYROTROPIN - stimulates thyroid to release hormones
- Produces CORTICOTROPIN - stimulates adrenal gland
- Secretes ENDORPHINS - reduces pain
- Pituitary controls OVULATUION
- POSTERIOR LOBE
- Releases ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE
- controls water balance
- OXYTOCIN - contraction of uterus
- THYROID GLAND
- Situated in the neck, close to Larynx and Trachea
- Produce THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE
- in the presence of CALCITONIN and IODINE
- butterfly shape, on each side of T CARTILAGE
- These hormones control the rate which cells burn fuel from food
- Play key role in bone growth, brain and nervous system
- The release of Thyroid hormones is controlled by THYROTROPIN
- PARATYHROID GLANDS
- Attached to Thyroid - 4 tiny glands, lying on posterior
- Release PARATHYROID HORMONE
- Regulates level of CALCIUM in blood with hormone CALCITONIN
- ADRENAL (SUPRARENAL) GLANDS
- Situated above Kidneys
- Made up of an outer part - ADRENAL CORTEX
- An inner part - ADRENAL MEDULLA
- ADRENAL CORTEX
- Produces hormone - CORTICOSTEROIDS
- Regulate SALT and WATER BALANCE
- IMMUNE SYSTEM, STRESS, SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
- ADRENAL MEDULLA
- Produces CATECHOLAMINES
- such as EPINEPHRINE (ADRENALINE)
- Increases BP and HEART RATE in times of stress
- PANCREAS - Produces INSULIN and GLUCAGON
- Maintain a healthy level of GLUCOSE/SUGAR in the blood
- ISLETS OF LANGERHANS
- Found in the PANCREAS
- BETA CELLS-INSULIN
- ALPHA CELLS-GLUCAGON
- DELTA CELLS-SOMATOSTATIN
- THYMUS
- mediastinum behind sternum
- Atrophy after puberty
- secretes Thymosin - maturation of T-LYMPHOCYTES
- PINEAL GLAND
- Third ventricle in brain
- Atrophy after puberty
- Secretes MELATONIN
- regulates wake/sleep cycle
